Wanted: 1966 442

I'm looking to buy a '66 442. Not wanting a project or a bondo'd-together basket case - just a nice driver-quality car that's hopefully fairly correct, not needing much of anything consequential done to it. Must be a real '66 442 and must have a 4-speed (though I might consider a car with a TH350/400 replacement trans that's been 'done right'). I live in central OH.

Thanks much for any help!

Bill

Another vote for the 66's!
Just a question: What is that rod going to the center carb on the right side? Is that a manual choke cable?

yup

with the intake block off's closed - it helps with initial start up and get it up to temp quicker .
